Cajamarca Court Delivers Swift Rulings in Flagrancia Theft Cases, Jailing Two and Suspending Two

Early-termination hearings validated arrests, enabling sentences within days.

Overview

  • In the December 18 attempted auto parts theft in Campo Real, Edson Romario Castillo Prado received one year, nine months, and 20 days of effective prison with immediate transfer, while Diomedes Faichín Malquipoma got a one year, two months, and 25 days suspended term subject to conduct rules.
  • In the December 17 store theft, María Isabel Yamo Fernández was sentenced to two years and 25 days of effective imprisonment, and Giordano Rodríguez Campos received a suspended term of the same length with probationary monitoring.
  • The judge affirmed the legality of the flagrancia detentions under Article 259 of the Criminal Procedure Code after verifying on-the-spot evidence and prompt police intervention.
  • Video surveillance and security staff corroborated the retail theft, and the auto theft suspects were recognized by the victim and captured minutes later by police.
  • Prior criminal records were decisive in denying suspended sentences for Castillo and Yamo, and the court ordered a joint civil reparation of 200 soles in the store case.
